THE DARK SIDE
THE METHOD
The name of my method derives not only from the passion that connects my artistic side with my clients, but also from the unique crafting process of the jewelry. In fact, many rings are sculpted on the inner side as well, the dark side of the jewel.
_WHY DID I DECIDE
TO CHOOSE THIS DUAL PROCESSING?
The intention was twofold.
The first reason is linked to the desire to tell a story, giving it the space it deserves, as I've already mentioned.
Then there's the significance of chiaroscuro, the dual level of interpretation that is concealed within each story, and it's up to you to decide whether to share it or not, revealing the inside of the ring.
I am aware that I am practically the only one producing this type of jewelry in Italy, and I understand well why.
Indeed, it might almost seem like a waste of time, dedicated to "something that is not visible, that remains hidden."
However, I wanted to be able to tell a story and allow my customers to share it in full or in part, by revealing (or keeping hidden) the inner part of the ring.
This truly makes a piece of jewelry an art form, conveying a deep and complete message that brings out your personality and provides an opportunity to share it, knowing you're wearing a piece of jewelry produced in very limited quantities, each slightly different from the other.
_WHAT DOES IT MEAN
TO HAVE ACCESS TO A HANDCRAFTED, CUSTOMIZABLE JEWEL?
No size limits: a characteristic of industrial ring production is the lack of very small sizes (or conversely, even more so for very large sizes).
Each piece is, in its own way, unique, due to the entirely manual finishing.
The jewelry is crafted after your purchase and customized according to your specific requests.
The sculpture on a ring can be proportioned according to the finger size and customer preferences. For example, you can order size 14 but decide that the "head" or the top part has the dimensions it would normally have in a size 20. We will evaluate together, if necessary, whether this request is feasible, and I will ensure that the piece of jewelry is perfectly proportioned and meets your expectations.
_WHAT DOES A 100% HANDCRAFTED PRODUCTION MEAN?
Of course, my working method already involves lengthy timeframes, and when you add the fact that I handle everything, from the creative phase to packaging the parcels, it's natural that production is much more limited compared to typical jewelry that can truly be considered uniform, as they are made through industrial procedures.
Even in the sample rings, each piece will have slightly different characteristics, thanks to the manual process.
I must say, however, that this way of working, having tried other paths in the past, suits me and allows me to unleash my creativity without constraints imposed by trends or company demands... and more.
I have the opportunity to directly engage with every customer, who will communicate directly with me, creating an essential dialogue to achieve the mutual objective: to have a tailor-made piece of jewelry that perfectly complements the personality of the wearer.
